Dark garnet in color and the nose is amazing! I don’t understand some of the previous notes as the nose in my glass is wonderful - lots of terroir and deep dark fruit - much like a young Bordeaux that likes to smack you across the room with a baseball bat. On the palate there is depth to the fruit (it may age well) with some moderate tannins. Balance is a touch off but the finish is adequately long. I had a fair amount of sediment - more than I would expect after 6 years so I decanted and filtered. Amazing value that I wasn’t expecting. Thanks for reading.

Overall: second bottle of this opened in the last 6 months. First one I found alcoholic and bitter. Second bottle was great, especially considering price.
Nose was dark with blackberries and black licorice, color was deep ruby, palate was both earthy and fruity. There were some herbs as well. Finish was medium in length and pleasant. I picked up some cocoa in the finish as well.

Give this time to open up. Tasted super fruity at first but mellowed out. Nice wine
